Rask was talking after the Bruins game about how he should have dove so then they would call it.

Case in point...
 
I will say this about Gaudreau tonight, he's been more dangerous tonight in one and half periods than he has for the first 4 games of the series. Problem is, it might be too late seeing no way Smith can play as good as he has and so only way I see Flames winning this game is if they figure out a way to get 4 more pucks behind Grubauer which doesn't seem likely.
 
The AVs' play-by-play guy is unbearable. Literally just turned the game on to that Gaureau breakaway, and am switching feeds now.

And I want Colorado to win.
One of the worst without question. There’s a right way to be a homer, and a wrong way; Colorado’s broadcast is definitely the latter lol.

If the Leafs blow another 3-2 series lead to the Bruins, that would just be the cherry on top of this scrumptious first round.
 
This Avalanche team is pretty damn hard to play against. They really weren't much of an underdog, regardless of seed ranking.
Edit: I hadn't really kept tabs on Grubauer since he was on the Capitals. Pretty good.
 
What was the reason again for wanting the 'Lanche? I have the Flames in my hockey pool but I haven no problem if they don't. Just don't recall what the reasoning is for us wanting Colorado again....
The more teams that finished below the jets advancing to the conference finals the better the jets pick would be providing the jets lose in the first two rounds

I've noticed as well MacKinnon has been alot quieter tonight than he has been all series as his name has rarely been called compared to the first 4 games.

If Colorado plays Vegas in round 2 and the Jets don’t make it to the WCF, we’re at least guaranteed the pick moves up 1.

In other words, we should be rooting for every team in the playoffs who finished below the Jets in the standings. That’s Vegas, Colorado, St Louis, Dallas (who we have another reason to root for too), Columbus, and Carolina. The more teams in that group that get to round 2, the better the chances that the Jets pick moves up.

If the flames lose both 1 seeds finish 1-8. I can’t imagine that’s ever happened in any sport in 7 game series

Thanks Tawnos...makes sense as to why we want the Lanche. Well with them up 3 goals now, would take a collapse of colossal proportions for Colorado to not advance to likely play Vegas.
 
MacKinnon loves that spot out by the circle. He made such a quick accurate wrister in for Wilson. He's just terrorizing the Flames.
 
MacKinnon does everything hard especially his passes. Like he wants to murder the puck.
If u told me the avs would destroy the flames in this series I would say look no further than mike smith but don’t think u can blame him

I knew the Avs were better, but never realized how big, fast, skilled they really are. Mike Smith has done pretty well, imo.

Biggest worry was there scoring depth but when Wilson puts up 2 goals in two periods of a game 5 that’s pretty good. Grubauer is a solid goalie. That trade with Washington looking pretty good

It still hasn’t totally hit me yet, but the idea that the Rangers are about to draft a player that’s got a very real chance to be better than Rantanen is insane to me

NHL needs to give the 1 seeds a bye like the NFL. There’s no incentive to work so hard.
